Lucy came with me to work today. We are having our fence rebuilt and she didn't like to tools the guys were using to build the fence so I felt bad leaving her home alone all day. I just didn't want her to be stressed. She had a non stressful day at the office, unless you count all of the tiring petting that she had to endure. She did great…

No puppy yet. Last night, I took Scout to the grocery store with me to pick up a couple things. And sitting outside the store was a dad, his son, and a corgi!

Of course, I turned into crazy corgi lady and got way too excited. He was a little under a year old, hadn't filled out all the way, and ALL EARS! His name is Tank, and they live only a couple of blocks from where I do now! I got Scout out of the car and they got along awesome! Tank wanted to play more than Scout liked, but…

I'm worried about my little guy. We came home from our walk and he started panting heavily. I didn't think anything of this at first since it makes sense he'd be overheated from walking. But then He kept following me around and I noticed he's trembling. I took him to the vet about 3 weeks ago to the day for ingesting xylitol. I had taken him to vet, induced vomiting soon after the incident, given him liver pills, and noticed no change in his behavior. The only thing out of the ordinary today…

There is a cute tri-colored corgi in the Jackson Animal Shelter. He is on Petfinder. Anyone looking for a new family member? I hate seeing corgis in shelters!! Wish I could get him myself but just can't.

Ok so help, advice, and positive stories of fearful dogs who got better are greatly appreciated!!! Week 2 with Truck has been good and bad. First off, HE IS SOOOOOOOOO FEARFUL!! He is still very timid and anxious.

Issue 1: Fear of cars. If anybody can help me fix this, or relate stories of their dogs that improved that'd be great. Truck is terrified of cars, to the point where if I open my door and he is off leash he will run away and not come when I call him. He did this the other…

I have a four year old female tri and a 1 year old male tri. Their relationship has never been what I would call friendly. Zoe, my female has always shown a lack of interest in Kolby from day one. Well, it has gone past that now, and although they have never gotten into a fight, the situation has to change. Unfortunately, I am going to have to find a good home for Kolby. Although I spent a large amount of money to purchase Kolby from a breeder, I am not looking for any money, just a good…

I am selling them, but in order to be eligible to buy one, you must first make a $5 donation to CorgiAid and show proof! I know selling stuff is discouraged on this site, but there is a donation aspect as well. If this is not okay, let me know! I will take it down. They are handmade with love by a highly opinionated internet hermit. They are also GUARANTEED to contain real corgi fur!*…

I just realized I haven't updated here since the 15th! Oy! It's been a very busy week and weekend. My schedule was totally off last week, thanks to jury duty (dismissed, YAY!!!!) but I was worried about what I would have done with Poppy if I had to sit on a case. Thankfully that is a non-issue this year and Poppy didn't even notice, except for the fact that last Tuesday was a verrrry long day.

There is a really nice daycare place about 15 minute drive away that does $20 Tuesdays, so I…

Sorry for the silence around the holidays! My husband and I have been very preoccupied with work, work and more work. However, that hasn't stopped me from doing a large amount of progress with Ace's training!

He has become such an amazing gentleman; it's truly remarkable how fast he learns. Because I have opted out of joining the weekly "obedience" classes in my city (truth is, they use the Old School methods of fear and leash-pulling, which I abhor), I have made it my…

Hey guys. Ein is about 14 weeks old now, and it's like the older he gets the more his eyes water. I know a lot of things could contribute to this, but the poor kid!!

It doesn't seem to bother him, but it is already leaving tear marks down from the inner corners. His nose isn't runny, just his eyes. His eyes aren't pink or anything. In fact, they are relatively perfect. He's got kinda long black eyelashes, maybe those are falling out into his eyes? I just…
